Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §4.8.8.pr

Compelling Award When an Individual Decision Is Valid

Passage 829 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paulus states that Titius must be compelled to render an award if the submission to arbitration allowed the decision of either party to be valid.

[PAULUS libro tertio decimo ad edictum. ] §4.8.8.prSed si ita compromissum sit, ut uel alterutrius sententia ualeat, Titium cogendum.
[PAULUS in his thirteenth book on the Edict.] But if the submission to arbitration was made in such a way that the decision of either of the two should be valid, Titius must be compelled.

Notes

  1. §4.8.8.prTitium cogendum — This is an expression of obligation using the gerundive, with the ellipsis of the copula 'esse' and the infinitive phrase 'sententiam dicere' (to render an award) from the preceding section (§4.8.7.1). The full sense is 'Titius must be compelled to render an award.'
